Internship Opportunities

The Department offers a unique internship program for qualified juniors and seniors.

Through its Internship in Business course, the department provides an internship opportunity for all BUEC students who want to enhance their credentials. The Internship in Business class involves practical field experience with a business or non-profit organization in a specific discipline: Accounting, Economics, Finance, International Business, Management, Marketing, or MIS.

A student works in a professional capacity for eight to ten hours per week during the semester, usually on a project determined by the sponsoring organization. The course also includes periodic reports and oral presentations. In past semesters students have benefited from assignments with accounting firms, banks, manufacturing companies, restaurants, radio and television stations, investment firms, credit unions, schools and colleges, United Way agencies, department stores, sporting goods stores, and many more.

Applications for internships are available from the Chair of the Department in the semester preceding the internship period. The Internship in Business course is considered to be a college free elective and may not be used to satisfy any major requirements or Business electives. It should be noted that college credit is generally not given for summer internships.
